The way things ended seem rushed IMO, but I still like for trying to do things different from Power Rangers and Saban's Masked Rider. Plus, they had Mark Dacascos.

The day Dragon Knight ended it's TV airing (they didn't even finishing airing it!) was the last time I watch Saturday Morning Cartoons. TMNT...gone (thankfully ending on a high note). Power Rangers...horrid MMPR re-edits. What's left? CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES! Kind of ironic actually given the Riders tools in the show.

Anyways, I love this show. It's better than about 50% of the PR series (though RPM, which aired right after DK, was great too) and one of only 2 Kamen Rider series I've cared enough to finish (the other being Kabuto).

I think someone's already said what makes this show so good: The villian. Especially the early episodes. Some say this show is about 2 heroes trying to save 2 worlds againist an evil villian. No, this show is about manipulation and the hero learning the truth of it all (It's also about Wing Knight being a badass). Xaviax manipulates most of the Riders to fight for him at some point and it works so well. Who knew Tim Taylor's brother could be so...sinister. Near the end it does kind of fall flat, but you can only manipulated people so much better you have to move pass it. Thankfully it's only in the latter episodes.

Also of note, Wing Knight is my favorite Kamen Rider. Somehow I have 4 figures of him and still don't have the SH Figuart.

PS I tried to watch Ryuki a few months ago and could barely make it through the first episode.

You might like Figma Wing Knight as well(I heard they wanted to make Ryuki figures for Figma but couldn't due to S.H. Figuarts being the ones that had the rights for the Ryuki name. So they released them under the Kamen Rider Dragon Knight name :P)

It probably helps that DK had higher rating in Japan than Ryuki :P

Also, already own him.


Still want the SHF though, but after finding the Figma for $12, I decided I didn't need to pick which to get and own them both.

I think people aren't giving the Dragon Knight Figmas enough credit...they aren't perfect, but they are far from being bad toys.

Yep. Agreed. I hope to get the Blank Knight figure one of these days. I can't help but like weak forms like Growing from Kuuga, Blank from Ryuki, and Plat from Den-o Something about them that is just "human" about them

I'm torn between getting the Figma or the Figuart for Thrust/Gai. He's my favorite design of the Riders from this series and both toys look amazing.

The Figma's no doubt going to be cheeper, since anyone who isn't Ryuki, Knight, Ouja, Zolda, and Femme can be found for pretty cheap.

If price was not a factor, which is better, the Figma or Sauchaku Hensin? I've never seen a Figma in person so I am not sure on the size...

Figmas are about the size of a Deluxe Transformer; maybe 6 inches tall and complete with all weapons/accessories.

Souchaku Henshins feature a plastic frame with some diecast armor; the articulation isn't as good and they may not have as many accessories as the Figmas do.
